now fact: both GT1 and GT3 being the first GT titles on a playstation console just like GT5 both went on to sell the most in their respective generations over the squeals on install bases LESS than what the ps3 currently has, so please tell me how the hell GT5 will with out a doubt, despite having more content than any racer released this gen, sure shot at AAA on a larger install base than the ps1 and 2 at the release of the first GT titles on those console will sell anything less than previous installments?? |
1- The PS1 and PS2 userbases were eventually expanded to some numbers the PS3 won't ever come close.
2- In opposition to previous generations, no PS3 games ever reached 10M, not even the mighty GTAIV. CoD:MW2 might eventually reach it but the franchise had become far more popular than GT.
3- The (simulator) racing genre seems to be in decline if we're looking at previous GT or Need for Speed titles for example.
After taking these 3 points into consideration, we can conclude it would be ''wishful thinking'' to think GT5 can reach 10 or 15M, unless of course, the game is heavily bundled. 6-8 million seems more reasonable.
